Went to the Dr. today to establish a plan for cutting a cancerous mass off of my head in the coming weeks. It isn’t really all that large (size of a quarter), but damn, it has me on edge. I carried the jigged white bone mini stockman and the Wenger with me. View attachment 2691494

Sorry to hear this bud,I hope everything goes well for you.

Take some small comfort in the fact that modern medicine is very advanced nowadays and they will know what to do.

If anything like me ... names of 90+% of classmates (in my case 100% at the schools I attended in different cities when my parents divorced in 1966 ... except one beeeeeeee itch in the first town ... (I don't remember that 1 guy for kindness, but rather for violance.)
bosses/managers/stupidvisors (high school jobs and after at short term jobs, anyway),
SN of firearms owned, 50% of ballistics of "osolete" cartrideges,
where the heck you parked, (I would love to know where I parked a then $10.00 now $3,500 bicycle, in 1974),
own birthday on the day and/or week of, (at least once)
which lock or building a work issued key fits,
lock combinations,
locker numbers in junior high and high school,
driver's license numbers issued decades ago in places you have not been to since you left, and old addresses you have not resided at in decades when a youngling, engine firing orders ... 🤨🥺

They sure are a nice knife, if I remember correctly it's their Bird & Trout 2.0 model.
I thought this gorgeous jigged bone was the best option but they have a couple wood options too.
I don't know how you feel about paying $200 for a knife that doesn't have any kind of special blade steel, but the AUS8 is was one of the things that made the knife worth it to me.
A number of companies make smaller classy belt knives these days and some even less expensive than this, but they all seem to have C154 and S30...etc that I'm not interested in.

The jigged bone looks very nice! I think AUS8 would be just fine considering the fact that I'm sitting here with a pocket full of rust (1095). 🥴

It would have been worth a bit more to me if I could get a blade that can patina.
As is I'm just happy the blade isn't a mirror polished finger print magnet that's only fit for display.
This finely ground finish looks nice while also being perfectly fit for use.

The trick is to abuse it to the point that it doesn’t mirror back anymore!

But I agree, so I’m having a custom hunting knife built at the moment in carbon. If I knew how cheap a good custom fixed blade hunter could be I’d have done it sooner. Then again the old mora has probably skun and butchered 100plus game animals and never skipped a beat.
 
A. Wright Sheffield England ... no mention of a son on the tang stamp ... who was also named Arthur
I purchased the knife a couple of years before joining BF in 2015. It came from a mom & pop knife shop in Maryland
The elderly couple were going out of business and retiring. This was among NOS they had. No idea when the knife was produced but think I remember they said sometime in the 80's.
Dunno ...

Clip Barlow, filed back spring, coin edge liners, with Water Buffalo Horn. No half-stop
Vintage catalog page when Wright was still on Sidney St, before moving to Charles St.
